After the way the Cunha injury news broke ahead of Monday’s game, I’ve decided there is only one clear candidate as to who is behind the budget leak: Visit Altrincham.

It’s kind of hilarious that betting ads during football matches now are pretty much just bookies telling you that you probably shouldn’t gamble before getting their brand name in at the very end.

I do wonder how much the 2000 fuel protests - which I think were the only time Labour were behind the Tories in the polls that entire first term? - have been a bit memory holed.
Indeed. Do people not remember the fuel protests here in the UK? Or just over the Channel? I'm not saying it has been the right decision but it should be quite obvious that the problem is 'motorists get angry'.

There are a lot of places in this world that I have never been to, whose names I cannot but sing in the style of famous songs that mention them. West Virginia to the tune of ‘Take Me Home, Country Roads’, Tucson, Arizona to the tune of ‘Get Back’, etc.

The @royalhistsoc.org is running a charitable donation campaign to fund the research of historians who lack support. The number of applications we're seeing is way up. I've been very lucky to have a career as a historian, I've donated, and I think this Christmas you should too. Pay it forward.

Ronaldo is the perfect ambassador for the coming World Cup. An avatar for greed, selfishness, ego, corruption, toxic masculinity, and lack of consequences for one’s actions.
Cristiano Ronaldo has magically had his ban reduced so he can start the World Cup. There is no precedent...but then he met the President. How depressing...
